I use an image viewer "XnView" a lot. It can make some changes to pictures, too, and convert them among different image formats, which it knows VERY many. And - it's completely free. The website is XnView.com.

Thanks. Looks great.

Can someone suggest me a free software for converting images from BMP to HEX and vice versa? I have found only pages, where you can give a color in RGB and they give you a HEX code for that. But I need to convert a whole BMP file!

Thanks

Here is another free small program - "Atomic Clock Sync": http://www.worldtimeserver.com/atomic-clock

As from the title can be deduced, it is for adjusting your computer's clock. This program really works on my computer, so I like it - because the programs I tried before it didn't work.

firewall- tiny personal firewall
download manager- download accelerator plus free version
registry tool- regcleaner : cleans old obsolete registry entries, and backs up what you delete, you know, just in case.
free game : Quake III demo and UT 2003 demo and 1942 demo
and I still think IE 6.0 is best browser- wait, don't shoot!!!! most websites are designed with IE in mind- example: download any HTML editor, and when you view your work in the preview pane, unless you change it, IE is the default viewer. plus it is free. besides, mozilla has problems with video, unless someone knows how to fix it?.
another firewall- zonealarm free version
